Mr. Speaker, renewing the lease on the facility near Roxham Road is yet another Liberal ethical failure.
The mere fact that the renewal was concluded in secret and untendered, and that it was awarded surely by chance to a Liberal donor, confirms this.
Providing smuggling services at the border is illegal, and yet Ottawa is making it easy for people to cross. It is illegal and unsafe to cross the border anywhere other than at border crossings, but Ottawa facilitates it. To top it all off, this is an ethical failure because the government is facilitating something that is illegal.
Why is the government making it easier for people to circumvent the law rather than controlling border crossings?
